Kitco News, Wed. Sep. 9th, 2020) – Gold and silver prices are weaker in early U.S. trading Wednesday. A rebound in the U.S. stock market overnight is a negative for the safe-haven metals. A strong bounce in the U.S. dollar index just recently is also bearish for the metals markets. Gold and silver bulls are in need of some fresh, bullish fundamental news, to jumpstart their stalled price uptrends. October gold futures were last down $9.80 at $1,925.30 and December Comex silver was last down $0.251 at $26.74 an ounce.

Global stock markets were mixed overnight. European shares were mostly up and Asian shares mostly down. The marketplace is presently shrugging off overnight news that AstraZeneca has halted its Covid-19 vaccine trials because one person in the trial contracted an unexplained illness. Temporarily halting such trials is not uncommon, experts said.

The other important outside market today sees Nymex crude oil prices higher and trading around $37.50, on a corrective bounce following sharp losses recently. The yield on the U.S. Treasury 10-year note is trading around 0.67% today.

U.S. economic data due for release Wednesday is light and includes the weekly MBA mortgage applications survey, the weekly Johnson Redbook and Goldman Sachs retail sales reports.
